World War I (W.W.I) or First World War (called at
the time the Great War) was a major war centered on Europe that began in the summer of
1914. The fighting ended in November 1918. This conflict involved all of the world's great
powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centered around the Triple
Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including
60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. More than
9 million combatants were killed, due largely to great technological advances in
firepower without corresponding advances in mobility. It was the second deadliest conflict
in Western history.

TRENCH WARFARE

Trench warfare is where combatants occupy fighting
lines consisting of fortified trenches. Trenches provided protection from small arms fire
and, in most conditions, sheltered soldiers from artillery. Elaborate trenches and dugout
systems were built by all sides and these were from assault by barbed wire. Though
trenches were built to protect soldiers, life in the trench, with mud, rats, human waste
and casualties, gas attacked and sustained artillery, was sheer hell.

THE TRENCH WATCH

The Trench watch or wristlet was a type of watch
that came into use by the military during World War I, as pocket watches were not
practical in combat. The trench watch had to be rugged. Yet trench watches were actually
pocket watch conversions, with most having a clam shell back and snap on bezel. The
introduction of SHIELDS or SHRAPNEL GUARDS were introduced to protect the crystal of
watches from damage due to life in a trench and not from artillery. It protected the
crystal from accidental breakage.

The first series of military wrist watches were
produced in 1880 by Girard-Perregaux for the German Navy. During the GREAT WAR numerous
companies produced wrist watches for the military and for direct sale to soldiers. Most of
these watches were styled similarly.

They had white or black enamel dials, outlined
contrasting color wide "RAILROAD" style numerals in a variety of luminance
styles or simply black outlined. Some had an inner military time (13-24) ring and some had
the number "12" painted or lumed. Many of these watches did not have their
movements signed with the name of the manufacturer, though most were marked
"Swiss".

THE POCKET WATCH

Pocket watches, timers, chronograph were utilized by
soldiers from every warring country. Leather fobs or Lanyards were utilized to attach the
watches to the soldier. In other cases, wrist holders were produced for small to medium
pocket watches. They are rare and many did not survive the war due to the fact inexpensive
watches were used and after the war it was hard to find pockets the size and shapes
required.

1st ID:

The first U.S.Infantry Troops (an estimated 25,000 1st ID troops would serve) to set foot
in France during the summer of 1917 were from the 1st ID. While dependant upon French and
British artillery and tanks, Pershing had his own ideas on how to end the bitter stalemate
of defensive trench warfare. From 1914 through 1917,much of the fighting involved a
defensive posture. Machine gun and artillery ruled the field; inflicting devastating
casualties.
